It's been a long time since I drooled over lingerie as much a I did at the M&S AW13 press show last week. I literally had to photograph every piece to make a mental note of what I was going to buy as soon as it was available. I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for a collection of feminine, girlie, chic and sexy underwear without having to spend an arm and a leg. Oh how I would love to fill my lingerie drawer with La Perla and Agent Provocateur pieces but for me, other investment buys will always take precedence.

Looking at the M&S AW13 range, I noticed one key theme; it's all gone back to glamour and femininity incorporating different textures of lace, soft silk and intricate lingerie detailing.

There's obviously something for everyone at M&S when it comes lingerie, but personally I feel like the 'push-up bra' with extreme padding look is dated. Secret support for those who need it is obviously a different story, but I am a little over the boobs up to my chin look (we've all done it) and beginning to embrace a more natural, soft silhouette.This AW13 collection was full of soft bralets, non-padded lace bras, high waisted knickers and retro inspired long line bras. The Rosie for Autograph range also didn't disappoint with its collection of gorgeous silk Camisoles and French designed Teddy's to encourage us even more to invest in some decent sleepwear. The collection starts to hit stores and online in July and I'm pretty sure they're going to sell instantly. Love it all.

I have literally had a smile on my face all day today as I can't quite get over how amazing the weather has been.For those of you not living in the UK, you may think I'm being a little over dramatic but after the long Winter we've had, it is a breath of fresh air just to have sunshine and warmth at last!I wasn't expecting it to be as warm as it was today so went for a safe Spring outfit, layering up my little ASOS dress, black tights along with my trusted Zara blazer .As predicted, the studded ankle boots I introduced in one of my previous posts is fast becoming my favourite pair as they go with everything and are so comfy!The thing about Summer in the UK (especially by the sea in Brighton) is that you can never be too sure when the temperature will suddenly drop and get cold, so I have formed a habit of taking lots of layers out with me just in case. Yes I may sound like an old woman but I have learnt the hard way, nearly freezing to death after not being prepared for the schizophrenic Bipolar UK summer.The only thing I'd say about my outfit today is that it's a little too dark for such a nice day ( black and navy with the black tights) This has now probed me to rummage through my summer wardrobe and start including brights, florals and pastels to my Spring collection just for days like this :-)

About Me

Hello, thanks for visiting my blog. I started this blog in 2011 mainly because I'm a bit of a shopaholic. I'm always picking up one thing or another and thrive on hunting down a bargain. The name actually came about because of people commenting on my clothes and asking me, 'where did you buy that?' I'm a cross between an investment buyer and a bargain hunter and mixing the two is what I love to do the most.
